Chapter 280 Lotus Tower (106)
Inside the room, Qiao Wanwan was facing the Moruo Ding on the table with a frown on her face.
She has been studying this tripod for a long time, but still can't find a way to open it.
"System, do you have any way to open this Moro Ding?" Qiao Wanwan asked in her heart.
[Host, opening the Moruo Ding is not difficult.] The system's voice sounded in her mind.
Qiao Wanwan was delighted and asked quickly, "Really? That's great! How many points are needed?"
[It takes 20 points to open the Moruo Ding. ]
"20 points?" Qiao Wanwan was slightly stunned. This number of points was less than she had imagined.
However, a new problem arises.
"System, opening the Moruo Ding is easy, but...how should I explain it to them?"
Qiao Wanwan was in a dilemma. If she directly said that she had a way to open the Moruo Ding, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng.
After all, they are all top masters in the world and they definitely know more about the Moruo Ding than she does.
She had to find a reasonable reason to explain how she opened the Moruo Ding.
[Host, you can say you found the key to open the Moruo Ding.] The system suggested.
"Key?" Qiao Wanwan's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
"System, it seems like this Moruo Ding requires a key to open."
Qiao Wanwan continued to ask in her mind, "How many points do I need to redeem the key?"
[Four keys are needed to open the Moruo Ding. Each key requires 10 points, for a total of 40 points.]
"Four keys? 40 points?" Qiao Wanwan calculated in her mind.
Although 40 points are a bit much, it is worth it in order to open the Moruo Ding.
"Then let's exchange the keys!" Qiao Wanwan made up her mind.
"System, can you make the key... made of ice?" She suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea.
[A key made of ice? Host, you want to...] The system seemed to understand Qiao Wanwan's thoughts.
"That's right!" Qiao Wanwan smiled proudly. "A key made of ice will melt after use. Even if someone finds it, there will be no evidence."
"Host, your idea is good, but the ice key may not be able to withstand the mechanism of the Moruo Ding. You need to use the Mingyu Gong to reinforce it." The system reminded.
"It doesn't matter. As long as it can open the Moruo Ding, it will melt after use. Who knows what the key is made of?" Qiao Wanwan said indifferently.
[Okay, host, redeeming the ice key for you...] The system begins executing the command.
Soon, four crystal clear ice keys appeared in Qiao Wanwan's hands.
The shape of the key is simple and exquisite, exuding a faint chill.
Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath, calming her excitement. She knew the next step was the most crucial. She had to be careful and not reveal any flaws.
"Xiangyi, come here. I think I have found a way to open the Moruo Ding." Qiao Wanwan said softly, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in her voice.
"Wanwan, do you really have a way to open the Moro Ding?" Li Xiangyi's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and expectation.
"Yes." Qiao Wanwan nodded, a confident smile on her face, "But I need your help."
"What do you want us to do?" Li Xiangyi asked.
"Fang Xiaobao, go get a basin of water." Qiao Wanwan ordered.
"Okay!" Fang Duobing responded, turned around and ran out.
After a while, he came in with a basin of clean water and placed it in front of Qiao Wanwan.
"Wanwan, what do you want water for?" Li Xiangyi asked with some confusion.
Qiao Wanwan did not answer, but stretched out her right hand and used the Mingyu Gong. A gentle internal force surged out from her palm and lifted up the Moro Ding.
The Moruo Ding slowly floated in the air, emitting a faint green light.
Qiao Wanwan waved her left hand, and the clear water in the basin turned into a stream of water and poured into the Moruo Ding.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and began to condense the ice key in the Moruo Ding according to the key shape provided by the system.
Strands of cold air emanated from the Moruo Ding, and the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.
Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that Qiao Wanwan had this skill.
Fang Duobing looked at it excitedly, his eyes full of curiosity.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Qiao Wanwan's forehead. She concentrated on controlling her internal strength, outlining the shape of the key bit by bit.
After the key was formed, Qiao Wanwan used her internal energy to take the key in her hand and replaced the ice key she made with the real ice flake key exchanged by the system.
That way no one can see it.
A quarter of an hour later, four crystal clear ice keys finally took shape.
Qiao Wanwan finished her practice and handed the key to Li Xiangyi, Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing.
"This is..." Li Xiangyi took the key and looked at it carefully.
The key feels cold to the touch, emitting a faint chill. Its shape is simple and exquisite, and it fits perfectly with the keyhole on the Moruo Ding.
"Will this work?" Di Feisheng asked with a frown, he was still a little skeptical.
"Fang Xiaobao, you understand mechanical engineering, see if this works," Qiao Wanwan said. "If not, this key is made of ice, so it won't have any effect on the Moruo Ding."
Fang Duobing took the key, examined it carefully, and said, "Let me give it a try."
He walked to the Moruo Ding and inserted the four keys into the corresponding keyholes.
"Crack!"
With a slight sound, the lid of the Moruo Ding slowly opened.
A cold breath blew in the face, making people shudder.
Fang Duobing carefully opened the lid of the Moruo Ding completely, revealing what was inside.
"This is…"
Everyone stared with wide eyes, and saw a emerald green insect lying quietly in the Moruo Ding.
The beetle is about the length of a finger, and its body is translucent, so you can clearly see its internal organs.
There is a pair of black eyes on its head, flashing with strange light.
"It's really a bug!" Fang Duobing exclaimed.
Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng's expressions also became solemn.
They didn't expect that there was actually a monster hidden in the Moruo Ding that Wanshengdao had tried so hard to obtain.
"This evil bug... is what Wanshengdao has always wanted?" Qiao Wanwan looked at the evil bug with a frown on her face. She could feel that there was an extremely evil power contained in this little bug.
"I've seen records of the worm in the Baichuan Academy's books," Fang Duobing said. "It's said that the worm is an extremely rare poisonous insect that can control a person's mind and even bring the dead back to life."
